The committee exists to promote the professional development of teachers of mathematics.
Most recently, the Committee has been finding ways in which we can implement the Membership survey results and feedback.
If you would be interested in joining the Professional Development Committee please get in touch, email alice.hall@m-a.org.uk to find out more or tweet our PD Chair @pdLouiseP

Branch: Liverpool
Title: Computing the Future
Presenter: Richard Pinch (formerly Strategic Advisor, Mathematics and Security Research at GCHQ)
Date: Thursday 11 Oct 2018
Time: 5.30pm – 6.30pm
Summary: New ways of computing, not based on the further micro-miniaturisation of silicon circuits, are emerging as practical realities. The arrival of quantum computing is now a practical consideration for large companies and national and international bodies; and looking a little further ahead, data storage and processing based on the biological properties of DNA have been demonstrated in the laboratory.
Quantum computing is the new buzzword -- Richard Pinch has been looking into what computers will look like after quantum tech arrives and what newer ideas are still on the drawing board. Mathematics -- old, new and as yet unknown -- will be the key to developing and exploiting these new technologies.
This talk is for Year 11 up, teachers and all those interested in mathematics and its applications.
